a sink that's "just right"



the bidet:  I really like this functionality.  It's much easier that trying to find a stool tall enough to reach the sink and the faucet handle, and easier than buying a stool for each bathroom and the kitchen because his ONE stool is, inevitably, always in a different place.
Originally Asher thought that our new bathrooms each had two toilets- one for sitting and one for standing.  While that was a decent idea- we've opted to keep it a hand-washing only- a min sink.  I suppose it will be okay for foot washing too, like Crocodile Dundee. Please tell me I'm not the only one that remembers that movie and that scene?

  1. T - I recommend that you teach Asher that outside of your own bathroom, he probably won't want to be washing his hands at the bidet seeing as most people do use it to clean their um... genitalia. :) Love and miss you muchly!

  2. Britt- I love you! You're right, I will teach Asher that, and seeing how he still doesn't know how to pull down his pants and go to the bathroom on his own, I'm safe for a little while.

  3. Every time I see one of those things I think of your mom, don't they have one in their house? She always spoke highly of how wonderful they are, personally I've never tried one, seems a bit perplexing to me.

  4. Love it, Toria. I think it's a much more practical use. ;)

  5. In Portugal we just used it as the spare toilet paper holder. Though a few Elders did embrace the bidet (metaphorically of course) and made a pretty good argument -- If you stepped in dog pooh with bare feet, you wouldn't use a paper towel to clean your feet, you would find the nearest hose, bathtub or bidet and wash it off with water and soap if available. It's a good argument, but I could never get used to using it.
